2016-2017
2017 brought another year of talented applicants! Our judges couldn't choose between these 2 talented young men- so our Boosters voted to award them both. Hunter Carrico will be headed to JMU this the fall to double major in theater & photography. Max Torti will be attending VCU where he hopes to start an improvisation group since none exists. KT would have enjoyed you both immensely!
2015-2016
Our 2016 entries were the strongest group of candidates so far. Aline Dolinh was the unanimous choice. Good luck at UVA!!!

2014-2015
So excited to announce our 2015 Scholarship recipient is Rob Condas! Rob will be attending JMU for Theatre and be putting his money towards a semester abroad. Way to go Rob. KT would have LOVED you!!!

2012-2013
Caroline Werenskjold, our Stage Manager here at Oakton, was the recipient for 2013. Now attending UVA!
2011-2012
Our first year , 2012, was a tough one! We couldn't choose between two of our wonderfully qualified finalists. So our panel of 7 judges decided to share the prize between Allie Berube, who now attends Syracuse University with a focus on sports journalism, and Marina Fondin who is attending the School of Visual Arts in NYC.
